Hearthstone open beta

... is now open!

No wait, that's not the word.

The word is ASS.

Step 1. Download the client installer.

Step 2. The installer connects to the server, or at least tries to, overnight during which it just stops several times.

Step 3. Realize the installer is for the Battle.net unified launcher, and not Hearthstone as such.

Step 4. Install the Battle.net unified launcher. This may take a few hours, even after it's been downloaded as such, it's still just slow.

Step 4. Install Hearthstone. Wait for the app to crash a couple of times, wait for it to verify various stuff, then wait for the download to start.

Step 5. Wait for the download to finish. It is pretty quick actually, unless it just crashes.

Step 6. ASS

And no, I still have no compassion for the people bitching about EA servers.

 

Mail app will not open on 10041.

Hello Adam,

This is the suggested solution below if you haven't already tried it.

In this Windows 10 build 10041, the Mail, Calendar, and People apps may be broken due to a licensing issue with the Store Beta. To get these apps working again, you need to follow these steps:

• Open powershell as administrator
• Run the command Get-appxprovisionedpackage –online | where-object {$_.packagename –like “*windowscommunicationsapps*”} | remove-appxprovisionedpackage –online
• Re-install Mail, People and Calendar from the Store (green tile)

 

Windows 10 apps won't open, blame Store app, Store app crashes immediatly upon opening

I can't use apps like the calendar, calculator or anything provided through the Windows Store. When I open them they tell me to look at the store for more info. The Store crashes as soon as I open it.

I've seen lots of people have been having this problem over the past 6 months (the fact that Microsoft hasn't patched this issue is telling) So far I've tried:

• Powershell commands to re-register the apps
• wsreset.exe (says it can't run and needs to be reinstalled)
• App Troubleshooter finds no problem
• Cleared the store Cache
• Created a new Local User on this computer
• Created a new Microsoft account on this computer
• DISM
• sfc.exe no problems found
  
  Synced the time with time.windows.com (I don't know why this would have worked but it was suggested and I'm desperate)

Any Ideas?
